I basically like the ocmposition, Roberto. It's a nice idea and the subject is worthwhile photographing in the way you've done. Personally, I think it would benefit by playing around with the perspective and giving the antenna a bit stronger focus. I've included one suggested solution below. Keep up the good work!
Best,
Steve

a possible change

...ma guarda che ti sei dimenticato di mettere la "A" di Adult ! :)
L'idea della nitidezza e dei giochi del ghiaccio mi piace molto, non so però se avrei scelto una composizione meno centrata, magari avrei giocato con la linea in basso che tagliava in basso a dx e il soggetto in alto a dx.
Non lo so , cmq è una scelta ed una visione tua.
Notevole la nitidezza ed il contrasto, da un senso di qualità estrema all'immagine

Ciao

Joel Aron   {K:14920} 3/9/2006
Wow Roby!

Wonderful composition! The materails, the reflections, the line of the car body... it's all brilliant! One of my favorite abstract image from you. The DOF is perfect!

well done my friend! best I've seen all day!

cheers,
-Joel

hi,from the thumbnail i thought it was a Narwhal whale stuck under ice..LOL..very unique abstract,Roby....clarity,dof,icy texture and contrast level all seem to be fine...am at a loss to offer any suggestions for improvement because it is so unusual and that in itself works for me! best regards,my friend...~gayle


Mattia L.   {K:7625} 3/10/2006
Stupenda idea Roby, molto ben fatta. Complimenti come al solito!


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:192044} 3/10/2006
ciao GG..

sai che tu hai già catturato il dilemma.. tant'è vero che ho altri "scatti", differenti.. in questo caso la centratura del soggetto l'ho vista solo per quella linea (del portellone posteriore) in diagonale.. ma sinceramente la trovo centrata anche io!!! .. e sapevo che tu, buon critico, me l'avresti detto..

complimenti, non ti scappa niente.. eh eh eh !!!

Ciao Roby,
ma quale buon critico... è che proprio mi sono scervelalto a capire cos'è che mi turbava... hai fatto caso che sembra "listata a lutto" ??!? :))))

Ciao

GG

cavolo no... devo cancellarla?!?!?
forse è un po' tetra..

stingRay part 2 .   {K:238822} 3/10/2006
It is a very creative idea Robi, simplistic and eyecatching and it has an appealing look to it that is difficult to define. A great abstract my friend. Well done to you and thank goodness we get to see another posting from you as there is far too much time in between your studies. Very best wishes to you my dear friend, take care and I hope to see you soon again......Ray


Leo Régnier  Я£   {K:66132} 3/10/2006
It's a very nice abstract Roberto. Congratulations!


Hugo de Wolf   {K:185017} 3/10/2006
Hi Roby, Very good photo. It has a well balanced composition, and I think the textures of frost have been very well captured. I like the very subtle use of colour in it. Not quite Black and White, but very close to it. Only in the reflection in the antenna, a hint of colour is visible. Not much to critique here. I think you nailed this spot on, if you know what I mean...

Cheers,

Hugo


kike Calvo   {K:11291} 3/10/2006
Hola Roberto, me alegra ver una nueva foto tuya. Aunque creo que he llegado un poco tarde, tengo mucho trabajo y poco tiempo, ya vendrán tiempos mejores.
En cuanto a la fotografía, lo primero que me ha gustado al mirarla ha sido la composición tan cuidada y elegante. A pesar de que el objeto principal se encuentra en el centro de la escena, la linea diagonal que rompe la carrocería compensa muy bien los pesos de la imagen, además de ser paralela a la antena.
La textura es fantástica, el hielo que cubre todo produce una sensacion de material aterciopelado de un color gris indefinido que se va desvaneciendo con la distancia por causa de la profundidad de campo, dando a la antena cuerpo y volumen en una foto que esta destinada a ser plana.
Un abstracto perfecto! En mi opinión.
Roberto, pones pocas fotos, pero desde luego, las que pones son garantía de calidad.
Perdón por escribir en español, pero mi nivel de inglés no es suficiente para expresar lo que quería decir.
Un abrazo Roby
kike

your observation is perfect, has not satisfied me this photo not to 100%. the idea of the diagonal and the perspective increased in yours is good...

tank you so much and have all the best!

cheers
roby


Hugo de Wolf   {K:185017} 3/10/2006
Hi Roby, Thanks for your reply, and I hear what you're saying... And you're right, after all, it is the Critiquer's Corner....:)

There's no such thing as a perfect photo, but in this one, I couldn't find any flaws. That'll be my shortcoming, but reading the other comments you've received, I'm still not convinced they offer an improvement. Not that they would make the image worse, either, though. There are many solutions that would result in the same atmosphere and feel. And that may just be the only thing I can think of that is not so strong in this photo: it's not a unique solution. I realise that's very subjective, and I can't offer any suggestions for improvement...:) Further more, I really like this image!

Cheers,

Hugo


Joggie van Staden   {K:41676} 3/10/2006
Nice abstract Roberto. The exposure is spot-on and the detail of the frost is great. I do think the composotion can be improved by standing a little bit back and to the right - using the line on the right to lead the eye up to the airial. Kind regards.
Joggie


vanessa shakesheff   {K:66126} 3/10/2006
Very clever concept ..good abstract .nessa


Dubravko Grakalic   {K:25085} 3/10/2006
very nice detail, frozen times is photogenic times :-)


Massimo Di Maggio   {K:-55858} 3/10/2006
Complimenti, sembra quasi un BN! Apprezzo i dettagli e la stretta profondità di campo, un po' meno la composizione e, concordo con GG, la cornice, secondo me nelle foto di origine analogica non servono, ma è una mia idea. In effetti avresti potuto anche sfruttare il parallelismo tra l'antenna e la linea in basso, ma, come per la cornice, è un mio personale punto di vista. Ciao, Max


Randee Armstrong   {K:-112} 3/10/2006
ha, very creative, love the title. well done


Gust@vo Sch3v3rin   {K:153312} 3/11/2006
Excelente composición.
Felicitaciones!


Don Loseke   {K:32503} 3/11/2006
This is very interesting but I do feel that everything but the antenna should be darkened. It would bring out the detail more in the frost. Don.


Fatemeh Rahimi   {K:13523} 3/11/2006
nice and creative idea Roberto! i like its simplicity and amazing title!
well done!


Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:192044} 3/11/2006
.. ciao max.. grazie del commento io mi ero ripromesso di commemntare 33 e 34, ma il tempo è veramente tiranno.. lo faro' soprattutto perchè son due foto particolari!!!
per il resto.. concordo anche io.. ho sparato altre foto.. diverse.. diciamo che mi piaceva il soggetto ma non perfettamente la composizione!!!

ma io sono un po' così.. "di botto"... che ci vuoi fare!
alla prossima e sereno fine settimana, abbracciami le tue donne..

Roberto Arcari Farinetti   {K:192044} 3/11/2006

Have a nice week end

Hugs,Ursula


Linda Bique   {K:73220} 3/12/2006
I love that "Critique Me" guy under your image...funny, and a great idea...Hello my dear Roby, How are you? I've missed you and your wonderful images. This makes a very nice abstract, cold and to the point...ok just kidding, LOL...I like the diagonal line and the almost criss-crossing diagonal of your shark, the mottled textures from the frost are wonderful..the simplicity in your composition is excellent! Very nicely done my dear friend..besos!!!


Davide Contestabile   {K:4091} 3/13/2006
Stupenda, fantastica immagine, complimenti per il taglio diagonale, guardarla fa venire un po' di freddo

Paul's Photos   {K:35218} 3/13/2006
nice work.. I like the composition and the cropping.. good lighting and tones... not sure what I would do to improve the image..good one


Michael Kanemoto   {K:22106} 3/13/2006
Roberto -

I'm feeling it - think this is good. Maybe get closer, macro lens (flip the lens around and close the gap with your fingers around the outside) - get a really shallow DOF...

Basically get the antenna as the only object with a sea of frost = no seam


Pablo Dylan   {K:61308} 3/13/2006
Originalissima!!!
Grazie del tuo commento e sappi che non mi sfugge mai una tua foto!!!

Hi Roby,

well what a great title! =) You have the imagination. I can hear the sound from the Spielberg shark movie.

great textures my friend.

thank you!

Eb Mueller   {K:23797} 3/16/2006
You exposed just right, Roby. The ice texture is beautiful. The crop is extremely effective with the diagonal seam to the right. I like the focus falloff behind the antenna tip - you made a good choice of focal point.
Eb
